I never realized what a good quality kit was worth until I started my latest build from plans,
http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_85...tm.htm#8507065. A good number of the outlines for my Pegaus build's parts are just good estimations of the size and shape. A lot of filing and shaping is required. I doubt I will do another "from plans scratch build." A nice kit or parts made for a build like this Mach 1 is just so much more enjoyable.
